Juan Soto on Bryce Harper: "Enjoy your second MVP, much love! Thank you for everything...see you next year" 

In 2021, Philadelphia Phillies right fielder and designated hitter Bryce Harper took home his second career NL MVP award. Juan Soto took to his Instagram to congratulate Harper with a heartwarming message.

In 2021, Juan was playing with the Washington Nationals, a division rival of the Philadelphia Phillies. Bryce and Juan used to be teammates while playing for the Nationals before the reigning MVP signed with the Phillies in 2019.

As per the results published by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Bryce received 17 of the 30 first-place votes to win the NL MVP 2021. Juan, on the other hand, received six first-place votes and finished in second place.

Juan did not show any signs of resentment despite losing the NL MVP honor and, instead, paid tribute to Bryce on Instagram by writing:

"Congratulations to my former teammate Bryce Harper. Enjoy your second MVP, much love! Thank you for everything…I’ll see you next year!!!!"

Juan's sportsmanship is truly applaudable!
